What is the kernel?

     The kernel is the central module of an operating system (OS), which connects the system hardware to the application software(Beal, V. , n.d., para. 1 ). According to (RedHat , n.d., para. 2 ) “The kernel is so named because—like a seed inside a hard shell—it exists within the OS and controls all the major functions of the hardware, whether it’s a phone, laptop, server, or any other kind of computer”. The better you understand the kernel, the better you code. Graphical representaton of Linux Kernel working as a bridge between hardware and user processes. (RedHat , n.d., para. 6 )  states: You can think of a Linux machine as having 3 layers: The hardware: The physical machine—the bottom or base of the system, made up of memory (RAM) and the processor or central processing unit (CPU), as well as input/output (I/O) devices such as storage, networking, and graphics. The CPU performs computations and reads from, and writes to, memory. The Linux kernel: The core of t...

Why start full stack development with python:NOW

It doesn’t matter if you have been into full web development or if you are just starting, but during this 2020 pandemic, lots of people have lost their jobs, and a huge demand for software development is on the rise due to the eCommerce boom and process digitization to avoid human interaction. We are in the digitization boom. Software development has to be bite sized so that more people can get the post-pandemic workforce wave. Python is the best language to learn because extremely fast web app development is possible(Django), it’s easy to learn, and it teaches to code orderly. Fast web app development is allowed by a framework built with python, called Django. No previous knowledge in programming is required. Django is a battery included web development framework, because it also generates the database and it’s connection, so no difficult back-end development is required. Python is an easy to learn language, it’s syntax makes it easy and tremendously readable. Unlike my experience...
